Data Dump Mode

As an example of how to interpret a data dump printout, look at the first three hex codes on the second line of the printout sample (20 20 54). Each hex code 20 represents a space; the hex code 54 represents the letter T. Check the second line of the right column and you will find the letter T preceded by two spaces.

The chart below interprets the first six nonprintable codes.
